Approximately two billion T-shirts are sold worldwide each year.
Six miles of yarn are used to make one T-shirt.
In 1939 the first promotional t-shirt was printed for the movie "The Wizard of Oz".
During World War II Navy T-shirts were issued to US Marines and Army soldiers.
In 1977 more than 8 million dollars worth of Farrah Fawcett T-shirts from TV’s “Charlie’s Angels” were sold.
The origin of the wet T-shirt contest is generally traced back to Jacqueline Bisset’s appearance in the film The Deep (1977) in whose opening sequence she was seen swimming underwater then surfacing, wearing a white T-shirt with a topless bikini.
Millions of T-shirts are donated to the Salvation Army each year. They are then auctioned off by the pound and exported to third world nations.
A survey by a T-shirt company in American discovered that 62% of the sample owned more than 10 T-shirts and in the 18 to 24 age group 79% owned over 10 T-shirts and 19% owned over 30.
